With the warm weather here, kids will be swimming in pools, lakes, ponds, rivers, and the ocean. Now would be a great time to share some water safety information with the students, and parents, in your school.
Stew Leonard's is a grocery store chain in Connecticut and New York. Stew Leonard Jr. lost his son, Stewie the III, to a drowning many years ago and created a charity and website to help spread the word on water safety to others.
On the site, http://www.stewietheduck.com/12watersafety.cfm, you can find water safety tips and links to other water safety resources. The charity helps provide water safety programs, education, and swimming lessons for kids. They also have a free iOS app about water safety.
Learn more at the Red Cross site also: http://www.redcross.org/watersafetytips
Share these resources and tips with your students and their families so that we can help make sure all of our students come back safe next year.
